I was at a gargage sale the other day and this older lady was selling a Winchester model 97, 12 gauge. The blueing was not good but it seemed to be in pretty good shape otherwise. The action was nice and tight as well. She was asking $365 but I'm sure she would have taken $20-$30 off for a serious buyer. I ran home and got the bluebook out and it listed the value at $350 or so for 50% blueing. I didn't go back to pick it up, but the next day I went to a gunshow and saw two for sale, similar condition, for close to $600 each. Waddya think...should I have bought it?
